I hate to sound like I'm living in the past, but a small part of me sometimes wishes it would be possible to go back to that era. It was a time when you could game women on the job and not risk getting fired over it or having any kind of sexual harassment allegations made against you. It was not something that you had to worry about back then.

One other thing that I would like to mention is that looking at the women in those videos and pictures, boy what a different world it was back then. Women were clean cut, feminine and way nicer to deal with than today. I look at these younger women today and all I see are fat, multi colored haired freaks that are a total train wreck to deal with. They actually took pride in their appearance and made an effort to look good. Today, they think that being fat with crappy tattoos and multi colored hair makes them look good.

Their voice might be the worst feature of all, the vocal fry drives me nuts.

I was like 15 or 16 when these guys came to a little warehouse venue in Norcross GA. Me and a buddy got his older brother to buy us tickets. They performed for about 30 min then the cops shut em down for being "obscene". Funny how their lyrics seem pretty tame by todays standards

A song from Genesis that I liked despite the politics, the cover done by Disturbed was good too. The puppets just look creepy.

I remember I saw that video when I was 6 or 7, and was so completely freaked out that I was terrified of watching the video or listening to the song afterwards. The fear and disgust that I had from that video was so strong that I would get uncomfortable catching glimpses of it flipping through VH1 or MTV as an adult. I think it took me almost 25 years to watch it again.

And to continue the New Order kick, here's a subdued but beautiful post-Joy Division New Order classic:

If that was the cause, we all owe a big fuck you to blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis).

Neneh Cherry was just on TV at the weekend (BBC I think). Almost didn't recognise her, she looked rough as fuck. She was definitely worth a go back in the day though.

Yeah, Terence Trent D'Arby had some classics, all one after the other; Sign Your Name, If You Let Me Stay, Wishing Well. I've always felt the same; that he should have been a superstar.

He was a superstar at some point. I remember his videos had heavy rotation on MTV. From what I read in his wikipedia entry seems he suffered from a massive ego, and had many conflicts with the record labels. A fate that some careers seem to have had, similar to the guy from the Sisters of Mercy for example.
